2010 Map of Colony Township NW

About this map

South Ladder Creek meanders through this High Plains landscape in Greeley County, defining the primary natural drainage in an otherwise geometric grid of section lines and gravel roads. In the years following the millennium, this area of Kansas remained a vast agricultural expanse where the infrastructure of farming is dictated by a rigid network of county routes. The map records the essential corridors of local commerce and transit, such as County Hwy G and 13 Mile Rd, which provide the backbone for the scattered farmsteads and rural operations characteristic of this region. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the importance of these named arteries like County Rd-58 and County Road A in connecting this remote prairie landscape to the larger township hubs.
